For the first marking period, I
have decided to read On Beauty And Being Just by Elaine
Scarry. Since I have always been interested in science related
non-fiction, I would like to start reading more expansively, beginning with
Elaine Scarry’s philosophical book about beauty. As an avid fan of art, I
thought Scarry’s arguments about beauty would somewhat interest me and serve as
a bridge towards more foreign non-fiction subjects. I do believe some
parts may put me to sleep, but I hope I will develop an endurance for
boring texts, as well as pick up new vocabulary and learn about Scarry's
point of view on beauty's purpose in society.
